[Childcare] Simple fall origami ideas

Speaking of autumn, there are lots of events kids look forward to, like field trips, Halloween, and moon-viewing.

It’s also a comfortable season to spend time outside, so going for a walk to collect acorns and red and yellow leaves is lots of fun.

In this article, I’ll introduce origami ideas that are perfect for autumn.

I’ve gathered projects with simple steps that children can fold, so please give them a try.

You can string several finished pieces together to make a hanging decoration, or use the folded creations to make an autumn-themed wall display.

After folding the paper in half into a triangle twice to make creases, open it and place the origami so the creases form a cross.

Fold the bottom corner up to the center to make a crease, then fold the top corner down to align with that crease.

Fold the left and right corners to the center line to crease them, then unfold.

Make step folds so the creases you just made overlap with the center line, open the pocketed parts, and squash-fold them into triangles.

These will be the ghost’s hands.

Fold both top corners into small triangles to round the ghost’s head, then fold the left and right edges of the bottom corner to the center line to form the tail.

Turn the paper over, fold both hands inward, and fold the tail up at an angle.

It’s complete.

Fold the paper into a triangle with the colored side on the inside.

Next, fold the base of the triangle back diagonally, leaving about 2 cm from the edge.

Then place it so the 90-degree corner is at the lower right, and fold so that the tip points downward.

From there, continue folding in an accordion (zigzag) manner so that each fold overlaps the one you just made.

When you open up the part you’ve been folding at the end, you’ll have a fallen leaf with veins expressed by the crease lines! Using various colors of origami paper—brown, orange, yellow, and so on—might make it feel like you’re enjoying autumn leaf viewing.

Fold the origami paper twice to make a small square.

Flatten both of the pocket sections formed by the folds into triangles, then fold the left and right edges of one of the triangles toward the center line.

Turn the paper over and fold up the part sticking out at the bottom to hide it as a triangle.

Next, fold the left and right corners of the other triangle toward the center line, then tuck the two corners created by the folds slightly inward.

Finally, fold the top corner downward, then fold it back up a little so the tip sticks out slightly, and your pumpkin is complete.

First, with the colored side facing out, fold along the diagonal to make a triangle.

Then crease by folding so that the left and right tips of the triangle meet.

Next, fold so that the 90-degree corner overlaps the center of the base, and then fold the left and right corners along the creases to form an overall diamond shape.

Fold the left and right corners to the center, and make a small fold in the bottom corner.

Finally, fold the top corner down to meet the left and right corners, and you’re done.

When you turn it over, it will be shaped like a rabbit’s face, so draw the face with a marker to finish.

The steps aren’t complicated, but there are quite a few folds, so take your time and give it a patient try.

After folding the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases, open it, then fold the left and right edges to meet the central crease.

Next, fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal central crease.

Open and flatten the folded top and bottom sections into boat shapes, then make a mountain fold down the center so the two boats overlap.

Hold the lower-left corner of the top boat and fold it upward perpendicular to the boat to form the fox’s face.

Fold the right corner upward toward the back, keeping the two layers together.

The remaining part is the body, and the section you just folded up is the tail.

Draw the face to finish it cutely.
